Pyraminx · top 0.95% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019ISLA01
Amirkhan Islamov (Амирхан Исламов) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.88, set at KSF Nur-Sultan City 2019, puts him in the top 0.95% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Kazakhstan. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2019, he has put 295 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.20 in January 2019 to 7.75, a 24% improvement. Amirkhan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
